Christians think gay people are trying to convert people to being gay because Christians try to convert people to being Christian. (lemmy.ca)

Christians literally go door to door: "Knock Knock Knock. Have you found Christianity? I've chosen a christian way of life and I think it's a great way of life. I think you should choose to be christian. I think you should raise your children to be christian. I think we should teach christianity in school. I think we should elect christian leaders. I think we should have a christian society."

So they think gay people go around going: "Knock Knock Knock. Have you found gayness? I've chosen a gay way of life and it's a great way of life. I think you should choose to be gay. I think you should raise your children to be gay. I think we should teach gayness in school. I think we should elect gay leaders. I think we should have a gay society."

Which is of course as ridiculous as thinking: "Knock Knock Knock. Have you found left-handedness? I've chosen a left-handed way of life and it's a great way of life. I think you should choose to be left-handed. I think you should raise your children to be left-handed. I think we should teach left-handedness in school. I think we should elect left-handed leaders. I think we should have a left-handed society."

(Now it's not just gay, it's trans too.)

If you can be converted to being gay, then you were always gay. It’s like if you have to pray the gay away, you are gay my guy

Everyone's at least a bit gay.

I might not like all cocks, but I certainly like mine.

When cuntservatives say they are afraid of being 'gay converted', what they are really saying is 'I'm setting up a defense early in case someone catches me on camera servicing a glory hole at the truck stop like I do every sunday after church.'
